One of Glasgow's most beautiful examples of medieval architecture is hidden away in the city's East End.

Provan House in Easterhouse is believed by some to be even older than the Provand's Lordship built in 1471, which is officially tagged as Glasgow's oldest house.

Provan House off Auchinlea Road dates back to the middle ages, long before the east end was built up. It was originally a hunting lodge owned by the bishops of Glasgow who would have hunted deer in the surrounding woodland.

But many Glaswegians are unaware of the historical gem on their doorstep.

A major £1.9 million revamp of the house will be taking place over the next year, to encourage more people to visit the house and make use of it as a meeting place or as a venue for events such as weddings.

As well as the medieval buildings, Provan House also has beautiful gardens at the rear.
